Comment: Thank You Thank You Thank You for the best swap you made my day even my week. I love love love everything such an amazing package. If I could give you a hundred hearts I would thanks again for such amazing package.

Response: Hi Bobbie, thank you for your lovely comments. I'm so happy you liked it. I had so much fun putting it together for you. Thank you for rating with heart. Happy Autumn swapping :)

Comment: If I could give you a million hearts I would. Thank you so so much for not only just the letter, but for going above and beyond the criteria of the swap, and sending such a thoughtful package along with it. I love everything - it's so kind of you! I'd just driven home tonight from a hard weekend away at work, and you're letter & package was such a lovely pick me up! I honestly can not say thank you enough - I don't know where to start! I will be writing back if that's okay?

Response: Hi Felicity, thank you for the rating with heart. I'm so happy you liked what I sent. I love snail mail and I would be very happy to receive a letter back if you have the time. Happy Autumn swapping :)xx

Comment: That is a great hot air balloon card! Adding that tassel is so fitting. Thank you so much! I love those balloon too. But never went in one.

Response: Hi Monique, Thank you for your comments, and the rating with heart. I love the hot air balloon images, vintage and steampunk. I would never go in one though because of the height . I really needed to put that tassle on but I was so worried it would get caught in the post machinery or something lol...much relief that it arrived safely :) Happy swapping to you :)

Comment: Thank you for the inspiration cards. I do try to follow that motto and plant kindness. Life is much more pleasant that way. Love the envelope. Such cool paper! Is there a name for that type of design?

Response: Hi Martha , thank you so much for your generous comments and for the rating with heart. I'm embarrassed to say but I cannot recall what envie I sent. You can send me a photo if you care to. I usually make my own envelopes from various papers, then I paint over or decorate with washi and then I give it a coat with mod podge. It changes the texture of the paper. I will private message you ! UpdateThis was an envelope I received from a recent swap. The person who made it is Paula Gale (Paulaeliza) . She sent me beautiful handmade envelopes that she made from children s book pages.:

Comment: Wow, Geraldine! I'm in love with your bear and astonished to know that you made him (or her?) yourself. I also love the note you wrote for me, with the "Advice from a Bear." :-) Thank you so, so much for sharing this beautiful postcard with me! Update 09/02/2016: Thanks for the explanation! It does make sense to me. In fact, it makes so much sense that I might try it myself someday. :-)

Response: Hi Jennifer, I'm so happy you liked it. I printed out the pic of the bear, than used my washi tape to "color" it. I really liked how it turned out. Thank you for the rating with heart and your kind words. Happy swapping :)xx/edit* after cutting it, I cut it into puzzle pieces and then made the templates with washi? does that sound clearer?lol time consuming and fun.

Comment: You absolutely painted a smile on me today. Beautiful envelope, loved the stamps too! I love your cheerful and happy letter. What a great idea to write this way, I kept finding new things to read as I turned it. Love that! Thank you for this ray of sunshine on an otherwise really crappy day. Perfect timing! The project life cards are so pretty, I love them. And thank you so much for the extra goodies, you are most generous. I really appreciate all the love you put into making this happy mail. I feel spoiled! And inspired! It was a joy to open all these little surprises and it was a joy to add this to my swap-smash book. Thank you! â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸ Now I have to try and paint my next envelope! So pretty! â¤ï¸

Response: Hi Ann, I'm happy you liked what I sent. Nothing brightens my day more than getting some happy mail or sending some :) Your comments are very generous and kind, much appreciated and thank you for the rating with heart. Happy summer swapping :)xx

Comment: I got the pink one today :) loved that you used postage stamps and I've never seen them before. Thanks ! *edit* I got the re-send yesterday. Next time we both will wait an additional week since it was international. :)

Response: HaHa Jill, did you get my e-mail ? thats so funny...it had an adventure post office style I guess :) hopefully the re-send wont take as long...have a great day! Thank you for the rating.

Comment: What a cute card! I love that it makes me think of cooler weather instead of the hot hot hot we have had here! The way you journaled on the back of the card is really wonderful! It makes me smile!
You win the whatwasmymotherthinking award!!!

Response: Hi Julia, Thank you so much for your generous comments and for rating with heart. I'm so happy you liked the card I sent. Happy summer swapping :)xx

Comment: Sorry for my late rate! Super cute card, I liked the image and loved the texture! Modpodge? It was slick and space-y. :)

Response: Hi Sherry ' so glad to hear you liked the pc, yes it is mod podge...i love how it changes the texture of paper...going to try some gesso as I think it does the same thing, maybe without the stickyness? Thank you kindly for the rating with heart. Happy summer swapping :)xx

Comment: This is an amazing envie! Have to know how you did it!!! Fun stuff inside too. Thank you!

Response: Hi Sheri, thank you for your lovely words and the rating with heart. I appreciate it. You know I usually paint a made envelope or collage it and then I give it a thin coating of Mod Podge ( diy-slightly watered down white craft glue) , it changes the texture and heft of the reg.paper. I seal up my postcards like this also ( not the store bought ones, the handmade ones )... You are amazing! Take good care, happy summer swapping :)xx

Response: hi Heather, yay sounds like you enjoyed what I sent. Makes me very happy, loved putting it together for you. Thank you so much for your lovely words and rating with hearts! Happy summer swapping :)xx

Comment: Thank you for the images :) I loved them and I don't have a douplicate.I loved the gray, mocca colored cardstock the extras were stamped on !

Response: Thank you for the rating with heart. Im glad it arrived safe as there was a looming threat of Canada Post possibly striking...looks like all my swaps made it out of the country ... update: no strike yet . Happy blissful summer swapping to you :) take care

Response: Hi Nancy, I'm so happy it arrived safe and you liked what I sent. I knew there was a reason I hung on to that stamp...saving it for you :) lol thank you for your kind words and rating with heart. Happy blissful summer swapping...mail strike here in Canada... take care :)xx

Comment: Geraldine, you went above and beyond in meeting the requirements for this swap!! From the wrapping paper envie to the fabric swatches, to PCs and stationary, envelopes and stamps...I am indeed WOWED! Thanks so much for exceeding all expectations. You deserve a buncha hearts... and stars too!! â¤â¤â¤ðŸŒŸðŸŒŸðŸŒŸ Big hugs...jinanne

Response: Hi Jinanne, thank you so much for your kind words and rating with heart. I am so happy you liked what I sent and so so grateful that it arrived safely...it was close to the wire ( looming mail strike here in Can ada) ...much gratitude ! Happy blissful summer swapping to you :)xx

Response: Hi Lihi, thank you for the rating with heart. Canada Post has given their required 72 hours before strike notice ...I'm so sad...today is the last day they will deliver. I wish you lots of happy blissful summer swapping :)xx

Response: Hi, I was going for a vintage retro style and then I got lost in those blk/wh stripes! Thank you for the rating with heart and happy blissful summer swapping :)xx Canada Post has just given their required 72 hours before strike notice ...I'm so sad.

Comment: Thank you for your great card! I have the Ladybird post cards as well. I like your colourful pencil crayons used. I have a small daughter and have used crayons on post cards to decorate before I discovered washi tape to use. It's hot and humid in Toronto now and maybe where you are is warm too.

Response: Hi Laura, thank you for the rating with heart. I'm so relieved you liked the PC I sent and thank you for understanding about the pencil crayons :) one mom to another lol happy swapping

Comment: Wow, I am so embarrassed. Thank you for contacting me and I'm very sorry! I had archived this swap and I *never* archive things I did not receive, so something weird has happened with the missing rating from your resend. :S Even with decreasing the number of swaps I did back then and finally taking a break from all real mail swaps, I in my opinion still kept a good track of everything - then a missing rating happens anyway. :') Again, I am so sorry and here is the rating you deserve and have waited for such a long while. All the best to you! :)

Response: Hi Heidi, lol, no worries and thank you for the rating with heart. Take care and happy swapping in the new year 2016.

Comment: Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I think this is the most beautiful and generous swap I've ever received! Opening it was like Christmas again and I love every single thing that you included. Thank you! :D

Response: Hi Kate. I'm so happy to hear you liked it, thank you for your generous comments and the rating with heart. Happy 2016, best to you :)xx

Comment: Thanks for the great postcard and book recommendation! The book sounds intriguing! I like how you incorporated the book title into the postcard :D

Response: Hi Marilyn, thanks for the great comments. The cover illustration was what drew me to the book. I love color! I really loved the book, hope you get a chance to read it . Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thank you for the rating with heart. Take Care :)xx

Comment: Thank you for the really cool purple postcard. Very ingenious way to seal it with the lamination. Will have to try that next time. Why did I join a purple swap? I love the color purple, although I don't show it as much as I did when I was young. When I was in 10th grade I wore the color purple to school EVERY day. Yeah, I was kind of a weird kid. lol I've never been so extreme since, but the color holds a dear place in my heart. :-)

Response: Hi Jane, I'm glad you liked it. I thought I had read on your profile you disliked purple? I like purple too, but now I'm kinda favoring the greens/browns & orange :) Have a super time swapping and thank you so much for your comments! And for the rating with heart. Take Care :)

Comment: Geraldine, I hadn't heard from you in a while so it was a pleasure to receive your package. Looking forward to opening it. Hope you're doing well. Getting ready to host "unique" Canadian swaps. Hope you'll join in some.

Response: Hi Monique, I was happy to get you as a partner for the swap. Hope you like it. I'll keep an eye on your "hosted" swaps, but I am taking a little break from SB...personal stuff going on. Merry Christmas to you and happy swapping! Take Care :)xx Thank you for the rating with heart!

Comment: Hi nannydino (Geraldine Johnston from Canada). I got your surprise "something" today!!!! Thank you so so so much for: 6 multi-colors pen + Koh-I-Noor Hardtmuth Magic pencil with Neon mosaic leads + airmail-themed washi tape + airmail-themed stationery kit [cards, envelopes, stickers, twine]. So nice! I loved the same way you wrapped the parcel, with map paper like me! You definitely made my day! I never found someone who had the work to print my free printable mailing label and sent it into their swaps. I am so grateful, appreciated that so much. You are a great partner, we should swap again in near future ;D Have a great mail week, maria das trouxas

Response: Maria, it was great swapping with you. I'm so happy you noticed the map paper...I was thrilled when I noticed yours :) funny...I'm glad you liked what I sent and yes, I love using your mailing label (it's very cool!)

Comment: Thank you so much for a great yellow & profile based MailArt-envelope with all these phones to adore :) I love it in and out. Thank you for reading my profile so carefully: tardis, chevron, phones, a hedgehogstamp!! This envelope traveled slowly, but it is 100% worth the wait :) This is a good-mail-day!!

Comment: Dear Geraldine, thank you so much, I received both! you shouldn't have to send 2, I'm not picky, everything is acceptable. The alphabet series sometimes gives challenges, it's true.

Comment: I love this "coyotes in the house" pc, both front and back - thank you! :o) Don't forget to put the swap name and your user name on there somewhere!

I swear I couldn't find it at 3 this morning. :o/ Here's the heart you deserve. :o)

Response: thank you for the rating, I usually put the swap & pen name in the middle of the puffin cards, too much washi perhaps? have a lovely day! Update: yay! Thanks for the heart :)xx

Comment: Geraldine, I wish I had the funds and objects to match your packages, as opposed to my skimpy ones. But I don't. So all I can say is a huggy "Thank you for ALL the purple goodies--stamps, snacks, postcards, pens...!"
Other: 1) A purple wedding? How lovely! 2) Have fun on March break. 3) I'll bet those cupcakes are delicious!

Comment: Can I give 1000 hearts? This went above and beyond my wildest expectations and I adore everything you sent. I shared the chocolate with my IRL valentine, and he liked it too, since he's the one who got me into Dr. Who. Thank you so so so so so so so much. :D I usually get any Dr. Who stuff at Half Price Books or online. :D

Response: Hey I am so glad that you liked what I sent...thank you kindly for the rating and the heart. Hope we swap again :) Have a great day!

Comment: WOW! You sent me so many awesome things! I can tell you put so much thought and effort into this swap. Thank you SO MUCH! I especially love the white sea glass - I've always wanted some! Thank you so much for being an awesome swap partner. (: I also love the pencil case and the little envelopes!

Response: Thank you for the rating and the heart! I'm happy you like what I've sent. Take care Happy swapping :)xx

Comment: Thank you so much for the wonderful yellow flower and puffin post card It is so cute and I like the lucky lady bug you added...lol. Please since you are also into healing stones can you tell me if you have any experience with white jade. |My sister has told me that white jade with a slight green in it is exceptional for healing. Only problem is she knows nothing about stones and heard that information second hand =(.

Response: Hi, thank you for the rating & the heart. White Jade filters distractions, pulls in relevant, constructive information and aids in decision making. There are many good web sites for info on healing stones. I believe all stones have healing properties. Take care. Happy swapping :)

Response: Hi Aisha, thank you for the rating and the heart. I'm happy you liked what I sent :) happy swapping to you!

Comment: I love the travel theme. When you wrote that you were having fun putting together your package, I didn't realize that I would be getting the end result! Of course everything is so creatively done and awesome things inside the envelope.I love the travel washi tape, but I think my most favorite thing was the suitcaseâ€¦ How clever! All these objects makes me want to go travel someplace so I can use in a scrapbook :-) I love your statement also about a new paper store. PS: I was astounded to read on the back of your letter that the book reference was made of the Sylvia Beach Hotel!

Response: Thank you for the heart and the rating. i'm just getting over a flu bug so I haven't investigated the new store...but I will soon :)xx
Take care.

Comment: Well, you did it again. I am beyond awesified. Everything is SO cool. I was giddy, but when I opened the WRAPPED package I flipped!!! Never saw or expected anything like that. BC has the most awesome stuff! All I can say is thank you so very much!
Ps: Sending you a pm in a few days to answer some of your questions. Have a VERY merry Christmas holiday.

Response: Yay! I saw that in the store and had to get it, and honestly, when I got your name for this swap I knew exactly what I had to do! Lol.Merry Christmas to you & yours. Thank you for hosting these awesome swaps that I just love to participate in! Cheers :)xx

Hope you had a great day at the IKEA. It's such a nice store! In the city where I live there's also an IKEA, just 15 minutes by bicycle from my house. I'll think I will go there too, to try the Loganberry jam you wrote about.

Response: Thank you for the rating and the heart Rianne. I'm so happy you liked what I sent.I really appreciate the lovely comments. Have a wonderful day...lucky you ...living so close to IKEA...I did have a great time at the IKEA store, thank you.

Comment: Geraldine, there aren't enough hearts on swap-bot. I was over the top with emotions when I opened that envelope... did a happy stomp, raised my hands in a V for victory, and more. An entire postcard/brochure package of Sylvia Beach??? It looks like such a relaxing place. How ever did you manage that? I wished you lived near here so I could give you a giant hug!!!
Oh, and thanks in advance for the smartie surprise. Looking forward to that, too!

Response: yay! happy stomps are great :) the receptionist at the hotel was very helpful...now I want to go there!!! thank you for letting me know about such a place! also, thank you for the heart and the rating...have a lovely day, happy swapping!

Comment: I wish, wish, wish I had not committed to wait until Christmas before opening this very beautiful and intriguingly bulky envelope! The decorating on the envelope it's self is worth a heart and I know I will love the contents. If I don't get back to you at Christmas (it is a very busy time for our family) THANK YOU!

Response: Thank you for the rating & the heart Anita. I'm so relieved you liked the envie...I'm loving that pink colour with the silver & gold right now...lol...I just mailed your other stocking stuffer(no worries-its completely different content)! hope you are enjoying the sunshine today, cheers!

Comment: SUPER AWESOME swap. I can tell you spent a lot of time making this a special swap, just for me. I love everything -- with each little mini-package I would squeal a little louder! Thanks so very much for making my weekend super happy!

Response: Thank you for the rating and the heart Johny! I'm so glad you liked what I sent :)...that makes me happy! Happy Swapping and enjoy the last of the summer!

Response: Thank you for the rating & the heart. we are thrilled that Jake liked his mail swap. Lucie had a cutesy pink theme going until she found out he was her swap partner! lol..always fun to gather colour items together.

Response: Thank you for the lovely comments and the prompt rating and the heart. I'm very happy you liked what I sent you! Happy swapping :)xx

Comment: Why did you sent such an amazingawesomewonderful package?! You shouldn't have spent so much money and time in this. I mean, of course I'm sooo thankful and amazed and simply speechless, but you really spoil me (and as I can see you spoil all your partners). But really, I am speechless by your incredible kindness. The letter is so nice, and don't worry because your package itself was like finding a snowflake inside my mail box, so I'll love you forever. And the tea + apple is going to be amazing, I'm sure. I'll try to send you a letter too, because I want to. And it's not going to be as amazing, but I'll try my best to make you smile when you receive it. Okay, so, back to our swap again, you deserve infinite hearts. You're so thoughtful and kind I can't believe it. I just can't! Lol!
Thank you so much again, and take care, be bright! Talk to you soon! Pat.
